Yesterday we shared with you two new stamp sets 'Find your Rainbow' and 'Small Print'. Today we are showing you 'Geo Bugs':
This is an A5 stamp set and the bugs all a big size, so they are perfect to be a star on a card. They are also lots of fun to colour too. And the hexagons....I love them all so much!
For my card I wanted to play with a bug and the hexagons to make my own background:
This was so much fun to do and I loved doing a rainbow pattern on the butterfly. The hexagons are also really easy to line up too.
To start with I stamped the butterfly with Gina K Amalgam Black ink on white CS and coloured with Altenew Artist Markers, adding some subtle shade and depth. I fussy cut it out and added foam tape to the back.
On a panel of white CS I stamped the larger hexagon with Versafine Onyx ink, starting with the middle one and working out from there. I then did the smaller hexagon, and then the smaller one again inside each one. I adhered a panel of black CS to the card front (card size is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4 inches) and then the hexagon panel on top. The butterfly was popped in the middle and the heat embossed sentiment was also put on foam tape. I finished off with some Studio Katia pearls and added Wink of Stella to the blue parts of the butterfly.
Will link this to the Simon Says Stamp - Wednesday Challenge where their theme is 'Anything Goes'.
What are your thoughts?? Do bugs creep you out or could you overlook that to have fun with these?? Its such a unique set and I can't wait to show you more ideas. I'll see you back here tomorrow with another new stamp set!
Take care

I love bugs. Except for cockroaches, they fascinate me. Sarah's done a great job with this one. Your butterfly is really gorgeous. Love your hexie background.
